UNSPSC 50433412: Dried organic japanese cucumbers

The variety of organic cucumbers known as organic japanese cucumbers that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50433412 Dried organic Japanese cucumbers is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying a broad range of dried beans and institutional food products for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state agency cafeterias — kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and related bulk staples rather than the cucumber-specific product the code nominally describes. The mismatch between code name and actual procurement activity suggests the code itself may be misaligned with current sourcing patterns, or institutions are tagging dried-bean purchases incorrectly. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies, municipalities managing child and adult care food programs, and individual school districts. Correctional institutions and state institutional food services dominate the recent activity, with Georgia and Oregon appearing multiple times as repeat buyers of dried beans in bulk quantities.

Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ on October 2, 2026 for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with a due date of October 9, 2026, requiring all-inclusive delivery pricing and strictly formatted specification responses. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans on June 5, 2026 with a June 19 deadline, offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon and vendors headquartered in Oregon; the historical purchase price was $0.493 per pound. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including proteins, dairy, grains, and vegetables across five geographic warehouse locations with a May 4, 2026 deadline (extended from April 21). The City of Edinburg, Texas posted an RFP on August 11, 2026 for a Child and Adult Care Food Program covering beverages, paper goods, food products, and janitorial supplies serving 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and a due date of August 4, 2026 at 3:00 PM. Georgia also posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) on May 15, 2026 with a June 22 deadline, and Illinois solicited quarterly food orders for July–September on June 18, 2026 with a June 26 due date.
